The aim of the project is to develop recycled carbon fibre based biomimetic prosthetic anklefoot system which exhibits high-performance, durability, comfort as well as energy storage and release which is low cost and could potentially be fabricated in LMICs. This will involve a concerted effort in the key scientific areas of advanced composites, compliant active structures and components, full prosthetic system design and computational modelling, simulation, testing and validation, manufacturing to scale, as well as sustainable social enterprise development, functional outcome quantification, need assessment and prosthetic service provision in LMICs.
